Cool

A little wisdom has never hurt anybody... So have a look:

This looks an absolute blast. Instead of pretending to be a medieval knight saving a princess from a damp tower you can go to this role playing camp in China and pretend to be killing the Japanese. You just know this will ease the tension between the two nations.

This work is amazing. Ian takes paint or powder and catches, with high speed photography, the moment the model and the powder or paint collide. It makes for some very dramatic pictures. Look at the way the paint drapes the models like a perfectly designed dress.

When I was a little kid I always wanted to have one of those beds that was also a race car. Never happened!

But now they have way better beds anyways. Check out these amazing designs for really cool beds. I really like the Ying Yang bed. The curves of the wood are so beautiful.

Ever since we spotted Darth Vader on holiday, there’s a question that’s been bothering us: who’s overseeing the plans for the new Death Star? Clearly it’s not this Stormtrooper who, after realising the big man was taking a well-earned sojourn, decided he’d do the same (does anyone actually do any work around there?). On his travels, the helmet clad chap has taken a shine to surfing, swimming and some Thai Chi (we think). Although, like most of us even when we’re on holiday it takes a while to relax and forget about the day job (see second pic above).

Better than the M62 Travelodge We've stayed in many places that have barely been passed fit for human habitation: cockroaches, no hot water, views of a brick wall and, worst of all, no complimentary biscuits. But we suspect that this won't be a problem if you pick one from a new website, The Most Perfect View, which showcases an international range of luxury hotels that offer truly spectacular vistas (and, we'd imagine, really good biscuits). Below are our top 10 views; don't worry Lenny, the M6 Toll Premier Inn was no. 11 we promise.

Re-using and recycling are all buzz words that we hear with great frequency. Some people have taken these concepts and turned them into functional art for the home, aka home furnishings.

This guy is amazing. His attention to detail and the way he can twist and really deform the pumpkins into living art is reminiscent of Bernini. The solid pumpkin comes alive in this mans hands. Check it out and tell me these are not some of the most life like pumpkins you have seen.

The original computer hackers where a breed of people who made stuff themselves. Need a monitor to display your information, make it. Need a computer? make it. Need a TIE fighter case for your computer? Make it!

It is amazing what a talented artist can do with raw materials. For instance take Russian makeup artist Vadim Andreev. Here are some amazing transformations he created. Some of them are not even recognizable after he works his magic.

Macro photography is an amazing approach with which to see the world. Detail and beauty is brought to the forefront that might otherwise be overlooked. Following are a number of up close and personal looks into the souls of humans and critters alike. Check out the amazing colors and patterns that emerge at this close range.

Public art can really say a lot about a city and her people. Fountain are some of the oldest public art and sometimes it most telling. Check out these bizarre fountains that really speak to the individualism of the artist who were commissioned to make them and the people who funded the projects. Or maybe it just speaks of our obsession with urination.

When it comes to the battle of the sexes there is no better display of an ass whooping by the women when it comes to who can rock a costume better. Check out these blatant examples of women rocking the costumes way better.

The men didn't even have a chance.
